Abhishek Awasthi as Hanuman!

In case you have been trying to identify the actor dressed as Lord Hanuman, let's make it easier for you — it is Abhishek Awasthi, actress Rakhi Sawant's ex-boyfriend. He essays the role of Lord Hanuman in Ramleela. Transforming into Hanuman has been no mean feat for Abhishek. He says, "The make-up used to take almost three hours, during which I couldn't even open my mouth. After make-up, I couldn't eat solid food throughout the day. I would only drink juice with the help of a straw. The shoot lasted for six days, but I enjoyed every bit of it since I am a Hanuman bhakt." The actor also lost almost seven kilos in 15 days, to look leaner and fitter for the part.
